JoMoX SunSyn

Jomox introduces their first major analog real-time synthesizer. It's
a true analog with 8 voices (4- and 6-voice versions available) housed
in a classic looking desktop-style case with wood end-cheeks, 40 knobs,
42 buttons and 85 LED's! It's also rack-mountable if you prefer.

The SunSyn features 2 analog oscillators (VCO's) per voice. The waveforms include
sawtooth, square and pulse with pulsewidth-modulation. But in addition to these
are the new Ramp Controlled Oscillators (RCO's). The RCOs follow the VCO characteristics
like modulation, sync, tuning and frequency alterations. The RCO's
use digital sounds which come from 4 wavesets, each with 256 waveforms each. In effect,
these digital sounds get an analog treatment for nicer, warmer and fatter tones. There
are 4 RCO's per voice and wavesets can be added via PCMCIA-card.

The filter section is also a true analog design but with very modern features.
It is a 4-pole filter but fully
configurable with independent high pass and low pass features available. Create
filters that range from the sounds of a Minimoog, to the squelchy 303.
Filter settings can be stored in one of two scene memories and real-time
Morphing between scenes can be accomplished.

As for modulation, JoMoX has devised a clever Routing System for the SunSyn, turning it into an 8-voice modular! It
is used to virtually patch between various modules or parameters.
There are up to 4 Routing Elements per voice with 4,096 possible combinations
per Routing Element. Modulation paths are configured using the front panel display
screens. This modular approach to signal routing is
a feature usually found only on the huge, expensive classic Modular synths
by ARP, E-mu, Moog and Buchla. Unlike those, however, the SunSyn features complete
patch memory (350 patches and 150 multi-patches) and multitimbral MIDI implementation.
Most parameters can be controlled by MIDI, and controller/editor templates for
most sequencers will be, or already are available. As for output, there are stereo outs, 8 freely
routable individual outs and a stereo input to run external audio through the Routing system.

The new SunSyn is a true analog synth built for the wealthy synthesists of today.
